Judge of the Supreme Court must
pay considerably more than years
salary toward the expenses Of a po-
litical party as the condition of be
inc presented for the suffrages of the
people. II he is unable or unwilling
10 pay, no matter what his merits
may he, he cannot be the candidate
of the party. The Surrogate and
District Attorney must pay more
than yeats salary, though the
term of the latter is only three years
and the salary hardly adequate to
the service required. Though the
Controller is elected for only three
years and is paid an annual salary
of $4,000, his assessment is set
down at $4,000, though we under
stand that $4,000 is demanded of
him. This is doubtless because he
derives certain emoluments from the
collection of the collateral inherit
ance tax. and because be is supposed
to have the opportunity to make
something for himself in handling
the city's funds. But on what prin-
ciple can a candidate for the Senate,
who, if elected, will receive only a
salary of 81 800 year for Il term of
two years, be called upon to pay So
600 for his nomination, and an AS.
semblyman precisely the amount of
his salary? Is it not distinctly i'm
piled that he is in some way to make
corrupt profit out of his office as
representative of the people, chosen
to make laws for their henefit? And
is not the whole system of assessing

"WOMAN'S RIGHTS"
By @. LOwTHER.

By @. LowrHER.
It is her right to watch beside
A drunken husbands bed Of pain,
And pray ard care for him who drinks,
That she may watch and pray again.
'Tis hers to make the hearth stone glad
With gentle words and loving smile.
And in return be cursed, decrfed;
Her love disdained, her home defled.
1t lie her right to train her sons
So they may senate chambers grace.
Then see intemperance drag them down
To poverty and deep disgrace.
1t is her right to be admired
When young, by every manly heart;
And when admirers all forsake,
Bear their proud scorn, conceal the smart
She hath dearer right than this,
To be In one true heart enshrined;
And when that heart unfaithful proves
To loye him still and be resigned.
And there ie yet higher right;
Which also is to woman given
To bear lewd cons by bloated eires,
Debauched with Sin, debarred from Heaven.
Her right is not Of enfranchise.
To save her loved ones as they float
Down through the gates of endless death.
T'is hers to sorrow, not to vote.

The Ford Gazette says: 1.-THE Wellsford Re-
publican learns that the f., p. l. W. will again
commence work at the east line Of kiowa county
the first Of this month and push the grading Of
that road. 1t is also, probably true, that the
above road will commence at Dodge and work
east until both forces meet. II co. the cars will
be running to Ford inside Of three months, and
everyone who can should get hold Of as much town
property as possible, and double their money in
that length of time"
The Fonda Democrat says: "work will begin
eoon, both at Dodge and Cullison on the K, P. &
". A large quantity Of material is being stored at
both places and it is thought by those best posted
in railroad matters that this line will be pushed to
an early completion"

In Comparison to Dodge City.

The Fowler Graphic pays Dodge City the fol-

Dodge City is fast assuming metropolitan pro-
portions. In the last two years she has probably

doubled her population many times, erected some
Of the finest brick blocks in the state put in one of
the best systems Of water works and introduced
the electric light, and they talk of $4,000 ho-

mind who try to make believe they are the future
great, but they do not bear inspection beside
Dodge They are shoddy in comparison. Even a
superficial view of Dodge City conyinces one Of
